What do you do with your chainsaw tools?

[Danno77]

holy moly, maybe I just bring too much, but I have a big tub thing that I bought at wal-mart. kinda like the thing below, but not exactly the same. It's enough to hold a few wedges, the chainsaw, the B&C oil, chaps, helmet, eye & ear protection, work gloves, a maul, an axe, extra chains and sharpening stuff, the small electric saw with power inverter, lunch and drinks, first aid kit, waterdish and food for dog.

'course, when I go to the timber it's a sunrise to sunset sort of thing, so maybe that's why mine is more than a milk-crate....

B Pre Paired! MMMM HMMMMMMM.

I was born outside in -25F temps. There was 20 feet of snow on the ground. I fell straight through the drift and my mother never saw me again. I chopped down my first tree when I was 3 hours old and split and stacked 3 cords before I made my first fire at age 4hrs. after warmed from my hard work I killed a mountain lion by strangling it with my umbilical cord. It made me a good meal for several days and nice clothes for a couple of years. When I was 2 I was discovered by some boyscouts on a nature hike. They had stopped at the natural springs that I frequented 2 times daily to shave my heavy beard. they took me in to town and the rest is history. So, yes, I was an honorary boy scout for a day...

Have a soft sided bag from craftsman that carries everything I need without gas and oil.

Ja, well... I was born in a log cabin that I built with my own hands.

I usually work out of the old truck. I built this box out of lumber left over from other projects.

It has three compartments

Saws, gas, and oil

Small tools, file, etc.

PPE, Big tools, axe, mual, peavey, etc.

 

[JustWood]

Flatbed
Wrap your files in a rag so they aren't getting beat up by your other tools in that compartment. Will get you some extra life outta them.

 

[Flatbedford]

Good idea, Thanks. All that stuff lives in the barn in a tool box drawer when I am not out cutting anyway. The box is not even a little weather proof. Nor is it terribly theft proof.

that 029 looks mint!

 

[Flatbedford]

Its 13 years old. Probably in less than mint condition. It has had a pretty easy life. I only cut a few cords a year with it. There were probably a couple years that it was never even used between when my parents sold their house and I bought mine.

Looking for some ideas on where to stow everything chainsaw wise. When you go out to a field, you need your oil, gas, file, and saw wrench, among other things. Wondering what some guys do so as not to lose everything and remember everything each time?

I don't remember everything every time, but. . .

1) My saw wrench lives in my saw case with a couple felling wedges and extra chains so I never forget those

2) My files live in my truck with a couple more extra chains, so I never forget those

3) My bar oil and gas lives next to my Peavey in my garage so it's pretty tuff to forget those


I used to have a dedicated tool box (which was just a large tackle box) in which I kept files, mix oil, wedges, extra chains, saw wrench, etc. This worked well until I ran it over and never bothered replacing it.

InterchangeabLEE,

Why thanks. I never thought that it would make a cool screen name for Hearth.com. I actually concocted it after visiting some Cowboy Action Shooting forums and thought the way they played with various character names was neat.

I liked Loony-Tune's French Canadian villain, Black Jaque Shellac, and just changed the last name to mimic my own.

Black Jaque Shellac is not the most well known cartoon caracter so I can't even find a picture on the 'net to use as an avatar.

Here you go.

I use a plastic toolbox. Files, scrench, chalk, torx, etc in the tray. Wedges, oil, gloves, chains, etc in the bottom.

 

[SWI Don]

I have an under seat pickup toolbox that came with my cross bed toolbox that chains, files, scrench, extra bar etc goes into. I also have a Rubbermaid Tote that the mix, bar oil, Tordon, wedges, and mix oil go into.

I have a buddy that uses a five gallon bucket with a leather strap screwed to it to make pockets for the scrench, files, etc.

Gee, Flatbed- you really go to town when you get wood, eh.......................

 

[WES999]

I picked up this nice heavy duty Makita gear bag form Ebay, it's large and hold a lot of gear.
works for me.

You gotta use the Google! ;-)

I built a wooden tool box with a sliding luan lid and a piece of rubber hose for a handle. I keep everything that I'll need in there including a used quart oil bottle refilled with bar oil and a 22oz fuel bottle http://www.rei.com/product/695244 that carries about an extra tank and a half of fuel. If I'm going to be out cutting more that that I bring the 2.5 gallon can. Strap the tool box on the front rack of my ATV and the saw on the back rack and I'm ready to go.

 

[ramonbow]

I usually fill up the saw with gas and oil at home because a full tank can cut more than my truck can hold anyway. chaps, helmet, file, and scrench go in a five gallon pail. Ax, chains, or cable are thrown in separately sometimes.

when cutting near the truck i use a milk crate and a small tool box. if i set out further into the woods where the truck can't reach yet i throw everyting i can think i may need into a hiking style back pack with a wastw belt and carry my saw.

 

[mbcijim]

x 2 on the milk crate. With a piece of plywood cut in to fit the bottom so nothing falls out.

I use a large plastic ketchup bottle for the bar oil. A large one filled up lasts me the whole day. It is a lot smaller than a gallon of bar oil so it fits better in the milk crate, and the smaller hole makes it easier for me to pour. I can't pour out of a quart container without dumping half of it.
